Many vapers are happy to follow the latest from world-famous companies, whose products are invariably in demand and do not cause any complaints. It is these companies that include the American manufacturer asMODus, which presented a recently updated version of the Minikin device beloved by many vapers.

User’s manual.
Appearance and design
Vapers who are familiar with the Minikin series from Asmodus will immediately recognize the distinctive triangular design when looking at the third version of the Minikin, which is difficult to confuse with anything else. It cannot be said that the design has not undergone changes, the mod has become a little asymmetrical and there are notches for fingers on its back side. A similar design solution also has a purely practical purpose: the ergonomics of the device has become an order of magnitude higher, and the box mod itself has become more convenient to hold in your hand.
Due to the fact that the Asmodus Minikin V3 has become a little asymmetrical, the landing pad for the atomizer in it is off-center. Thanks to this, you can safely use atomizers with a diameter of up to 25 mm (if you use a larger diameter, then the edges of the tank or drip will hang over the edge of the mod).
The power of 200 watts is provided by two traditional 18650 batteries, which are installed at the bottom with a hinged cover. An important feature of the device is the presence of a USB Type-C connector, which allows you to charge batteries with a current of 1A in a minimum time. But that’s not all. At the bottom, you can find three small holes for wireless charging, which can already be purchased without any problems, and the Asmodus Minikin 3 Charging Base will allow you to charge the device with a current of 2A.
Board, functionality and features of use
The Asmodus Minikin V3 uses the proprietary GX-200-UTC chipset, which is an updated version of the chip that has proven itself on the positive side. This board is interesting not only because it can work in standard varivolt, thermal control (Ni200, Titanium, SS316, SS317, SS304), TCR, TFR modes, but also in the Curve mode, which is loved by many vapers. At the same time, the minimum resistance with which the mod works is 0.1 Ohm.
The Minikin V3 is controlled using a fairly large touch display, which is familiar to many Asmodus users. In addition, the chipset is equipped with a vibration response, which signals the vaper about possible problems in the operation of the device, a short circuit or low battery.
The Minikin V3 has the function of unlocking the device by fingerprint and password, and even after flashing the device, the lock is saved. The presence of a built-in accelerometer will allow the vaper to switch between the display colors by shaking the box mod three times.
Conclusions and impressions
We can confidently say that the Asmodus company in its new Minikin V3 has implemented quite interesting innovative technical solutions that will definitely be appreciated by many vapers. It is worth noting that the company is clearly not going to give up its position, offering vapers more and more interesting devices, which are becoming more and more convenient to use.
